About

About Donna

Donna Murison, MBACP (Accred) helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She supports those struggling with relationship issues, grief, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar mood shifts. Donna also works with people coping with career pressure, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and issues around intimacy and communication.

Donna uses a flexible, person-centred way of working. She listens first and adapts her approach to each person.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on practical strategies, clearer thinking, and building self-compassion. The aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day demands. Her background combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with compassion-focused ideas and mindfulness.

Donna draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed work when appropriate. This mix supports both short-term problem solving and longer-term change. Clients who discover ADHD later in life are invited to explore what that means for them.

Donna helps make sense of old coping patterns, build kinder self-talk, and develop practical routines that fit how the brain works. She also offers support for people navigating perimenopause, divorce or other significant transitions. Donna is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP (Accred).

She updates her practice through regular supervision and continued professional development. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters to the person and on building small, value-led actions to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current ways of relating and can help people feel safer in connection and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will check what matters to the client and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. This collaborative process means plans are reviewed and adapted as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the exact options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use methods such as mindfulness exercises, behavioural experiments or thought records between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss how to structure sessions so they suit someone’s routines and practical needs.
